Ok, now I see what’s going on. You’re a bot or a troll.

This is a thread over two weeks old, nobody is reading this thread… You just posted this response less than an hour ago and it already has a lot of upvotes, more than all the posts nested above it (which have been there for two weeks).

Nobody is reading this, so there’s basically only one way to get any response that strong that quickly (negative or positive). A network of accounts supporting some posts and suppressing others.

Is not a lie, that’s just what I remember. I remember messing around with computers, doing whatever I wanted with them, but that was back in high school when we’d just hang out at the mall; I haven’t been to an apple store in a long time.

What’s really weird is to make such a big thing about this. Why get all passive aggressive? I mean look, even when you’re sure someone is wrong about something, that doesn’t mean they’re maliciously lying, it just means they’re wrong… You can tell them that.

Policy may have changed…

When I check out a device in the store I definitely pick it up, hold it, turn it over, and generally look at every part of it. Things like a charging port on the bottom would probably stick out…

Or like in this case, with the power button on the bottom, I’d definitely notice that as annoying.

What software do they let you load?

Basically anything you want, they don’t tend to watch you at the apple store, unless you seem like you actually want to buy something. They want you to mess around with the machines, so I’ve never seen them password protected in any way, you have admin access.

Users aren’t trying before they buy so the display is the most important aspect

Trying before you buy is literally the entire point of the apple store
